I am using the Jimz Rocket plans site and would like to print up some fin templates.

I have Brother Intellifax 2820 laser printer.

What’s the heaviest cardstock I could likely print on?

This is what I found on Brother website, but it is unclear which printer they refer to

Thick Paper (28 to 43 lb or 105g/m2 to 163g/m2): MP Tray only

- Cardstock paper that is 43 lb of less is supported. If Cardstock paper is over 43 lb, it is not supported on the machine.

My Ricoh laser chokes on cardstock so I just print on regular paper and glue it to the cardstock.
Also gives me the chance to use scraps of leftover cardstock instead of a full sheet each time.
My wife says I'm "thrifty". :ghosty:
